Thank you, Mike. I'm looking forward to it too. I went to a wonderful Indian restaurant tonight. I'm not sure which I liked more -- the food or the furniture. They had a coffee table/chest in the waiting area that I would have killed for.

Thank you, Toni and Joanna, for the birthday wishes. Even belated ones are welcome at my age! I knew Zu and I both had birthdays close together, just couldn't remember when hers was. Now I have it down as being the same day as one of my aunts!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if at some magic number birthdays started counting backward again and we regained our youthful forms and vigor? Now that would be cause to celebrate being 67!

Toni, where do you think the best place for birthday wishes would be? Maybe Rose Events and Chat? I wished Angie a happy birthday in the Welcome forum in a thread where she'd posted before, because I thought she'd see it there for sure, but it would be nice to have separate threads in a special place. It would be great if you could all c-mail me your birth dates.

Zu, I missed your greeting on the welcome forum. I'm still trying to find one of my posts in the roses forum from several days ago. Yes; I'm blonde and I'm now 67, so I have an excuse, but thank you for thinking of me. We'll have to have a joint celebration one of these days! Rose events and chat sounds good to me.

Zuzu - actually, either in the Rose Parades so we can flood the system with tons of pictures (I'm not guilty of that.. noooooooo.. not me) or in the Daily Chat (but then people w/slower internet like myself at work wouldn't go there because takes too long to load (I usually hit Daily Chat once or twice a day and haunt at night when I'm at home w/faster net connection).).

Angie's got buried in the welome thread, and Brigitte's greeting is in the Rose Events forum, where we finally decided to put the birthday threads. I haven't seen Brigitte post for a while. Hope she's just busy.
